Feeling Crabby? Here Is Our List Of The Best Seafood Restaurants In Mumbai

Sea-food and eat it? After due diligence, these seafood restaurants in Mumbai came out on top for consistently good food and a stamp of approval from locals. So, the next time you’re in the mood for a massive seafood binge, you know where to go.

Gajalee

Almost legendary, Gajalee is definitely more than just a restaurant – it is an experience that every Mumbaikar swears by and one that every tourist signs up for. Pomfret, crab, oyster and clams find place on their menu but if you’re headed there for the first time, we suggest you get the Bombil Fry, Clam Masala and Butter Garlic Prawns.

Mahesh Lunch Home

Locals are divided pretty equally between Gajalee and {stiff competitor} Mahesh Lunch Home. If you’ve never been, we highly recommend asking the servers about the catch of the day – we’ve found that the staff is super helpful at Mahesh Lunch Home. However, the Butter Pepper Garlic Prawns are absolutely delightful and you can’t go wrong with their Stuffed Pompret.

Mahesh Lunch Home has five outlets in Mumbai – in Juhu, Saki Naka, Fort, Thane West and Vashi.

Bastian

This high-end restaurant on Linking Road is relatively new but it’s already popular with seafood enthusiasts! We do have a favourite as far as the menu goes – butter poached lobster with avocado salsa that’s served in a garlic butter brioche, their Lobster Roll is heavenly. Expect seafood in a fancier avatar here, at a slightly higher price point but we swear it’s worth treating yourself to.

Trishna

The Prawns Koliwada and the King Crab are the stars of Trishna’s menu. Located in Fort, this seafood restaurant is another oldie but goldie and a meal for two would cost approximately INR 3,000. Since it’s a rather fancy place, we recommend Trishna for a big family dinner or date night {if you’re okay with getting your hands dirty}.

Soul Fry

Soul Fry actually overhauled their menu after 18 years and today, serves up a mix of East Indian, Goan, Koli, Mangalorean and Portuguese dishes. The Goan Crab Xec Xec, served with pav, is a winner and we also love the the Yetii Fry {Mangalorean masala fried prawns}. This Bandra restaurant also hosts weekly karaoke nights so you can have your seafood with a side of song.

Highway Gomantak

Believe us when we say that Highway Gomantak does the nicest Stuffed Pomfret we’ve had in a long, long time. This seafood restaurant in Bandra East wins big on two counts – their thalis and value-for-money. Next time you find yourself here, opt for the Surmai Fish Curry, priced at a measly INR 270, and their Tesrya Masala {a clam preparation that is mouthwateringly good}.

Sion Lunch Home

Sion Lunch Home makes it to this list primarily because of their fantastic thalis! Pomfret, crab, mori, surmai and prawns find place for themselves on these fully-loaded thalis. The best bit? A meal at Sion Lunch Home is easy-on-the-pocket and won’t set you back by more than INR 500.
